  6. Autoship Gen Item Mult
    1. The continuity Gen Item multiplier allows you to multiply the commission paid to an employee when the product is generated from an continuity sequence.
  7. The Item Type multipliers allows you to multiply the commission paid to an employee when the product is sold as a cross sell, Upsell, Continuity or Rush and not as the advertised product that the customer has contacted you to purchase. The multiplier default value is 1, which means the commission amount paid is multiplied by 1 and is not subject to any addition commission.
    Idea
    Example: A commission amount of $10 when sold as a cross sell, when the cross-sell multiplier is 1.5 would be $15.     $10 x 1.5 = $15
